nycsnow Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 RGEM looks like it wants to set the battleground around nyc metro if true. There could be a battle with the dynamics at play maybe some snow wins out or it goes back and forth??? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduggs Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Unfortunately the ECMWF-AIFS treats all frozen precip. (e.g., sleet) as snow in its 10:1 total, so that map isn't going to tell us much. Same is true for the UKMET and a few others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll encase everything into a glacier. That's the one thing that will ruin the skiing for me. Sleet is fine; punching through crust sucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eduggs Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 The 18z RGEM is the best run I've seen in a while from any model. Very impressive thump with several hours of 0.1"+ liquid and it shifted the sleet line meaningfully south! Unfortunately when the 3rd party graphics for the RGEM and NAM differ with northern extent of sleet, it's usually best to go with the NAM. But a shift south is still welcomed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winterweatherlover Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 20 minutes ago, Jt17 said: Euro and GFS going in opposite directions. Surprising nobody seems to riled up about it. I think 10+ is on the table still for NYC . I'm cautious rather than overly optimistic but even I don't care about the gfs especially at this range.

SACRUS Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 The RGEM dumps about a inch of liquid as snow between 4AM and 4PM before mixing moves in and we lose about .5 - .6 to sleet. very impressive overrunning front end. This is all snow to this point the next hour has sleet moving to i78 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like that it ends as snow on the tailend, it probably will be more mood flakes then amount to anything but something just feels nicer when the storm ends as snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winterweatherlover Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 RGEM seems around 2 inch per hour rates between 10:00 am-4:00 pm in NYC Metro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staten Island (I should really update that). I have about 300-400' elevation and don't get nearly the foot or car traffic I had in Brooklyn and it makes a big difference.
